Scouting Report: Juan Musso

To the surprise of many, Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny was given the Best Goalkeeper Award of by Lega Serie A following the completion of the 2019/2020 season. The Poland #1 hasn’t committed any cringe-worthy mistakes during the run towards Bianconeri’s ninth consecutive Scudetto, but at the same time, he didn't accomplish anything extraordinary. Despite winning the league title, Juventus still conceded seven more goals than Inter and one more than Lazio. 

As highlighted by Lega Serie A, the award was given based on the league’s official stats, although if it was based on other criteria, a certain Argentine would have likely stole the trophy from Szczęsny's grasp. In his second season in Italy, Udinese goalkeeper Juan Musso has proven to be a consistent performer between the sticks, and at 26 years old, he's ready for a big move.

Not only did Musso keep more clean sheets (14) than any other goalkeeper in the league this season, he's also registered the second-most saves, making a whopping 157 saves in 208 shots on goal.

In many of his saves, you’ll notice that Musso stands tall. Any time he takes his position to prepare for a shot, he doesn’t bend his knees too much. Instead, he prefers to stand just a little bit inclined, allowing himself to react as quickly as possible.
